Baraini royal lies

Mahmood sent me this:  "The Bahraini government is so desperate for legitimacy that it has been making up reports. They always get caught, but they never seem to learn.   Here they claim that Amnesty International criticized the opposition for "using children for political gains" and as "human shields". It's right out of Israel's playbook.   Here Amnesty calls them out and demands the Bahraini press withdraw the false reports. There was a similar episode a few months back with the High Commissioner for Human Rights at the UN Navi Pillay, if you remember."
